Will You Recognize and Support the Presidential Election Results?

[MontyPython]

President Trump won't commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the election. He's stated that the only way he can lose the upcoming election is if it's "rigged". Given Trump's history, it seems probable that Trump would *never* willingly concede an election loss to Biden. Further, it seems probable that Trump will challenge the election results through any means at his disposal including legal challenges, attempted influence of the electoral college process at the state level, etc.

In sum, it's likely that *if* Trump loses the apparent votes / EC necessary to remain President, he won't go without a fight.

So, in light of the forthcoming claims by Trump of election "fraud" and being "rigged", will you recognize the election results or will you back a President trying to remain in office despite losing the election? I've simplified the options to only "yes" or "no", because it's a given that Trump will allege the election is bogus if he loses in the polls.

It seems like a question that's insane to even pose, but that's where we are at this point.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Yes, next question please.

The only way I will have any issues with the outcome of this election is if in battleground states mail in ballots are continually counted for days after the election and more and more ballots magically show up for Biden. I am sure if this happens the stream of ballots will suddenly stop coming in once Biden gets enough votes.

Should have made it visible.

Yes, unless this happens. Don't even try to say it's not possible.

 

[utvolpj]

Hell no, let's fight it out and cleanse the country! Either that or a Trump/Biden winner-take-all death match

I'm just preparing for neither side to accept the results. This is going to be ugly for people in large cities and those whose local/state govt has decided they don't have a right to adequate self defense

 

[LouderVol]

I am saying yes. Only way I would even think no is if it drags on beyond a week.

Can't say for sure which side I'd fall on, but that may be the only way forward. That or just balkanize the country.

 

[C-south]

When will they be available?

No .. here you are . Overthinking and panic stricken , again . Smh

Ha! Death match. Both those geezers be like...

This is a DA post, not surprising who started it. My bet was on LG but you were a close second.
When Biden loses, you don't think he's going to fight it every way possible? Come on, really a waste of bandwidth and Volnation server space.

 

[McDad]

Animation of a Trump Biden death match.
Hope this works...

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I think it's likely that the Supreme Court will decide the next President.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Not even going to vote in this dumbass poll.

Once each election commission in each state certifies their results that tally is complete. Once that happens 50 total times the count is complete and the winner is determined. A protest is a next phase if it occurs but the election is over at that time and whether an individual accepts it or not is moot

I think that happens in my lifetime or at least my kids see it.

If either side disputes the election, expect lawsuits and the like. This would put us into December at a minimum, per the 2000 election.

 

[bpalmer28]

We may be headed into Civil War II regardless of the results. The more BLM spreads, the closer we get to war, IMO. But yes, I'll recognize the winning candidate as POTUS.

pj was right, we need death matches. The pandemic isn't over until the election is decided. And im ready for the pandemic to be over.

There will not be another civil war. People are too lazy and can't deal with discomfort for more than a few hours.

I’m surprised that people think that a few elites in Washington Dc ruling over 330 million is a workable solution. We should have an amicable divorce so that solutions come from a local level.

It'll be interesting to see what happens if unemployment checks were suspended.

People might just go find jobs, plenty of them out there.
